Description
As my regular buyers may already know, recently I suffered some 'stock loss'. Therefore I am forced to sell some of my own collection as a result. These will include some STUNNING examples of some legendary LPs, many of which will be impossible to upgrade! Good luck if you decide to bid! This is just one item from my own collection below:-
1) THE COVER IS STILL A UK 1ST PRESS 'MATT' GATEFOLD COVER - AND IS ESSENTIALLY IN 'RECORD SHOP CONDITION' (WHICH IS ONE OF THE REASONS THIS LP WENT INTO MY COLLECTION IN THE FIRST PLACE!)!!!!
2) THE RECORD HAS IN THE RUN OFF GROOVES 'ALLEN' ON ONE SIDE, AND 'PORKY' ON THE OTHER!!!!
3) THE RECORD HAS 'DUAL MATRIXES' ON SIDE 2 - WITH BOTH A 'K' SERIES 'B' ENDING MATRIX, AND MOST IMPORTANTLY IT STILL HAS A '240102 B//4' MATRIX ALSO. AND UNLIKE LATER COPIES - THIS 'B//4' MATRIX IS STAMPED EXACTLY THE SAME AS 'PLUM ATLANTIC' ISSUES, WITH IT BEING 100% BOLD - WITH NO FAINTNESS AT ALL!!!!
4) THE 'FOUR SYMBOLS' ARE COMPLETELY MISSING ON THIS LABELS!!!! THIS WAS OBVIOUSLY A HUGE ERROR, AND WAS CORRECTED ON ALL LATER GREEN/ORANGE PRESSINGS.
SO THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO DOUBT AT ALL - THAT THIS IS THE RAREST PRESSING OF THIS LP EVER MADE. ONLY 1000 COPIES WERE EVER MADE, IN LATE 1971 ONLY - AND IT WAS IMMEDIATELY CHANGED!!!! AND IN THIS AWESOME CONDITION - THE CHANCES OF EVER FINDING ANOTHER ONE AGAIN, ARE VIRTUALLY ZERO!!!!
NOT ONLY THAT BUT THIS LP IS IN ABSOLUTELY AWESOME CONDITION - AND HAS BARELY BEEN PLAYED AT ALL!!!! JUST TAKE A LOOK AT THE PICTURES!!!! THIS IS THE ORIGINAL 1971 UK 'EARLIEST' GREEN/ORANGE PRESSING ON THE 'EARLIEST' GREEN/ORANGE ATLANTIC LABELS, MISPRINTED MISSING 'FOUR SYMBOLS' ON THE LABELS, 'ALLEN' / 'PORKY' RUN OFF ETCHINGS, 'DUAL MATRIXES', ORIGINAL 'TEXTURED' INNER SLEEVE, AND STILL WITH A 1ST PRESS GATEFOLD 'MATT' COVER!!!! THIS LP IS SERIOUSLY RARE AND VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND LIKE THIS - SO DONT MISS OUT ON THIS AMAZING OPPORTUNITY!!!! The Cat. No is 2401 012 / K 50008 on the ORIGINAL Atlantic labels (see picture) and is a Stereo pressing (there were NO Monos!)!!!! All the tracks are Pure quality Led Zeppelin at their best!!!! Any fan of Led Zeppelin, or 60s music in general, will want to have this in their collection - especially in this condition!!!!
The record labels are in SUPERB condition (see pictures) with NO wear, NO writing, and barely ANY spindle marks AT ALL!!!! IT IS VERY CLEAR THAT THIS RECORD HAS BARELY BEEN PLAYED AT ALL!!!! The vinyl is in absolutely AWESOME condition!!!! Most of these 60s/70s LPs had been to a lot of wild parties and are usually found totally worn out, and almost unplayable. This one is NOT and has NO scratches, NO hairlines, NO scufflines, only 2 or 3 absolutely ULTRA light TINY surface traces, and only a VERY few of the lightest paper scuffs only visible under light!!!! ITS AS SIMPLE AS THAT!!!! THE RECORD STILL RETAINS ITS ORIGINAL 'JUST PRESSED' LOOK AND LOOKS AMAZING!!!! It is also great to find that the record plays as STUNNINGLY as the visual with NO pops, NO sticking, NO jumps, and barely ANY crackle AT ALL!!! The sound quality is simply SUPERB with NO distortion and NO groovewear either!!!! The record must grade MINT(Minus)!!!! AWESOME RECORD!!!! Believe me this record is NOT overgraded in ANY way!!!! I use STRICT RC grading standards - it is not in my interest not to!!!! Brillant!!!! The record also comes in its ORIGINAL 'Textured' inner sleeve which is in AWESOME condition with NO splits, NO rips, NO tears, and NO repairs for once!!!! WHAT AN AWESOME INNER SLEEVE!!!! The ORIGINAL 1st Press 'Matt' Gatefold 'Wide Spine' Cover is in absolutely AMAZING condition!!!! It has NO edge wear, NO spinal wear, NO sticker tears, NO sticker marks, barely ANY corner wear virtually ZERO (NOT through the colour!), NO splits, barely ANY creases AT ALL (virtually NONE - and the cover is VERY flat looking indeed!), NO ringwear, NO rubbing, NO annotations, and NO writing!!!! The opening edges are beautifully straight with barely ANY feathering AT ALL!!!! Even the inside of the cover is in AWESOME condition with NO grubbyness, NO yellowing, NO ringwear, NO rubbing AT ALL, and NO writing!!!! The cover must grade MINT(Minus)!!!! AWESOME COVER!!!! THIS LP IS SERIOUSLY RARE AND VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND LIKE THIS (ESPECIALLY AS THE ALL TIME RAREST PRESSING EVER MADE!) - SO DONT MISS OUT ON THIS INCREDIBLE OPPORTUNITY!!!!

Though there are rarely ever any problems with my items (I always try my very best to describe everything exactly!) - PLEASE REMEMBER to contact with me FIRST, if you have any problems at all, before you leave feedback and star ratings, so I get a chance to turn any negative experience into a positive one! I can always happily sort anything out for you, if you let me know you have a problem! This way no one has to leave Negative/Neutral feedback - and we both walk away happy! Please do NOT bid if you cannot give me at least 1 chance to sort everything out to your FULL satisfaction in the unlikely event of a problem. Thanks again - Graham @ XXXRecords. PLEASE NOTE - Private feedback bidders must consult me first prior to bidding - due to previous problems regarding non-payment, and non-receipt. MY POSTAGE UNDERCHARGE GUARANTEE TO ALL BUYERS (I always undercharge on postage!):- Due to UK Royal Mail's obscene price increases this year - I have had no choice but to increase postage charges a little. Until this year - I had kept them exactly the same since I joined ebay back in 2002. However this years price increases have been so obscene, that I have had no choice but to increase my postage charges for the first time ever. However PLEASE NOTE - my absolute 100% guarantee to you as a buyer - is that I will ALWAYS undercharge postage on everything I send out. Even after the increases, I am still charging you the buyer LESS than I am being charged myself. On each package I send out - the price is clearly stated on the front of the package (please check it when you recieve it!). I also do NOT charge for packaging costs - ONLY for postal costs! And should you find that I have overcharged you postage in ANY way - I will refund DOUBLE the difference. THAT IS MY 100% POSTAL GUARANTEE FOR EACH AND EVERY BUYER! No buyer EVER deserves to be overcharged on postage - and on my listings, I'll make sure they are ALWAYS undercharged. Any questions - please ask!
